Ardennes posted:So how much if a 3 bedroom house in good shape in a decent neighborhood in Auckland? Hillcrest (which is just over the bridge and about 10 minutes drive to Britomart without traffic) costs about $800k for a 3 bedroom poo poo hole. We just sold our house and were going to buy another in the same area, but it is pretty much unfeasible if you want to be able to do anything other than sit at home (and that is with both my partner and I making decent incomes - although having a kid does make things tighter). So yeah, you're hosed.

Ghostlight posted:Commercial trucks feel the same way about being charged more just because they have a double tyre. What really appears to be happening there is people trying to do well by the environment with a nice new Golf TDi are being charged the same rate as trucks to subsidize the hauling companies. I have no evidence at all to prove this, but it seems the only logical explanation.

Exclamation Marx posted:https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/03/10/new-zealand-gcsb-spying-trade-partners-nsa/ It's worth noting that even if our media let this go quietly, The Intercept will continue to keep good coverage of this whole thing as their Director of Security is a card-carrying pinko-commie NZer who has spent a good portion of his life being hugely concerned about government spying.

Ivor Biggun posted:Newsboy should get a current affairs show Eating Media Lunch was a current affairs show, pretty much. and it was amazing. It was the best when he managed to convince Angela Dewhassherface to go to press conferences and use her BBC anchor cred to get to the front and then ask questions as "Angela: Eating Media Lunch". They should revive it and bring back Unauthorised History of NZ. (Also while I'm cheering for Graeme Hill poo poo, I really wish Radio Live would give his midday timeslot back to him. :/)
